bus delaypower failure
The hotel has buses to rooms but they do not run on schedule. I experienced a 35 minute wait to get down on arrival. I also waited 40 minutes to get up when leaving. The power failed one night while at the boat shed restaurant. There was no lighting apart from our phones as we returned to the rooms.

lovely bathroomclean bathroomamazing viewdriving challengepoor advicelong walk
I booked a Queen Room with a separate bathroom. The bathroom was lovely and clean. It had everything I needed. The outside of the apartment was lovely, with chairs to sit on to admire the AMAZING view!!!
Not being able to drive to the accommodation is a challenge for some guests. I received poor advice on check-in regarding the walk to my accommodation. I was told it was a gentle five-minute walk, so I walked, but this was not the case.

The hotel has very nice history. I enjoyed exploring all the historical buildings. A private beach is also available. I loved being close to nature and a national park.
Our room balcony had rubbish all over it. I think it happened because wildlife got into the bins. The breakfast at the Wharf was below average. It had little choice and many flies.

The location is superb! i enjoyed the free shuttle around the site. It made things very comfortable. it was secluded, and a beautiful alternative to the rest of manly!
my room had an external bathroom that required me to take my key with me and go outside to use it. it also had an external shower, so i had to get dressed in the bathroom after showering. there was only one power point that i could find!
